Hi from Zürich,Schweiz and a hot , humid day. The SCANNER,Canoscan LiDE 600F,is not detected by XSANE/SIMPLE SCAN. It is probably detected :- here is the OUTPUT from TERMINAL COMMAND "sane-find-scanner -v" ***************************************************** found USB scanner (vendor=0x04a9 [Canon], product=0x2224 [CanoScan]) at libusb:001:005 ***************************************************** sane-find-scanner -v This is sane-find-scanner from sane-backends 1.0.20 # sane-find-scanner will now attempt to detect your scanner. If the # result is different from what you expected, first make sure your # scanner is powered up and properly connected to your computer. searching for SCSI scanners: checking /dev/scanner... failed to open (Invalid argument) checking /dev/sg0... failed to open (Access to resource has been denied) checking /dev/sg1... failed to open (Access to resource has been denied) checking /dev/sg2... failed to open (Access to resource has been denied) checking /dev/sg3... failed to open (Access to resource has been denied) checking /dev/sg4... failed to open (Access to resource has been denied) checking /dev/sg5... failed to open (Invalid argument) checking /dev/sg6... failed to open (Invalid argument) checking /dev/sg7... failed to open (Invalid argument) checking /dev/sg8... failed to open (Invalid argument) checking /dev/sg9... failed to open (Invalid argument) checking /dev/sga... failed to open (Invalid argument) checking /dev/sgb... failed to open (Invalid argument) checking /dev/sgc... failed to open (Invalid argument) checking /dev/sgd... failed to open (Invalid argument) checking /dev/sge... failed to open (Invalid argument) checking /dev/sgf... failed to open (Invalid argument) checking /dev/sgg... failed to open (Invalid argument) checking /dev/sgh... failed to open (Invalid argument) checking /dev/sgi... failed to open (Invalid argument) checking /dev/sgj... failed to open (Invalid argument) checking /dev/sgk... failed to open (Invalid argument) checking /dev/sgl... failed to open (Invalid argument) checking /dev/sgm... failed to open (Invalid argument) checking /dev/sgn... failed to open (Invalid argument) checking /dev/sgo... failed to open (Invalid argument) checking /dev/sgp... failed to open (Invalid argument) checking /dev/sgq... failed to open (Invalid argument) checking /dev/sgr... failed to open (Invalid argument) checking /dev/sgs... failed to open (Invalid argument) checking /dev/sgt... failed to open (Invalid argument) checking /dev/sgu... failed to open (Invalid argument) checking /dev/sgv... failed to open (Invalid argument) checking /dev/sgw... failed to open (Invalid argument) checking /dev/sgx... failed to open (Invalid argument) checking /dev/sgy... failed to open (Invalid argument) checking /dev/sgz... failed to open (Invalid argument) # No SCSI scanners found.
